I personally don't believe that this version of Windows 8 is intended for a work computer. I have a feeling that Microsoft will also include a professional version of Windows 8. As long as I have been beta testing Windows O/S's there has always been a professional version to accompany the release of a new version of Windows.
Hi there
I just don't see W8 ever going anywhere NEAR any serious office either - at least in its current form.
The Windows to go idea is apparently only going to be available in "Enterprise" version -- but to me this is a 100% misnomer -- no sensible "Enterprise" is going to even THINK of touching W8 with a 7 Km long pole and the people who could get most use out of this feature would be "roving" or external consultants working at different customer sites -- and these people won't have access to W8 "Enterprise".
The whole Metro idea has to be DROPPED totally for computers used in businesses.

I disagree. Yesterday, I showed the Windows 8 to a guy I know that runs a small car dealership. He was definitely impressed as he told me that he has a friend that has about 20-25 PCs that he might want running a dual boot of 7 and 8 with 8 being used the most. Heck, his wife and daughter came into the dealership into the office when I was talking about the new UI features and he told them that Windows 8 is installed and when they saw it, there was a look of whoa on their faces. People love the dragging down to close an app, it's awesome! It could be just me, but Windows 8 can easily be used in the enterprise once the initial learning curve is overcome. More locations can be pinned to it, more programs, more apps can be pinned and it's very visual. But it could be just me as I find it fantastic to use versus others...along with some other people....
